Chapter 75Nate's POV. "I don't see you being different." Jessica's words pierced through my skull, sounding like it was about to pull every sense out of my brain and leave me with nothing more than complaints. Did that show me the way she saw me? A guy who was bound to cause harm to a woman and even go as far as murdering her? This was disastrous and I couldn't stand to explain the kind of feeling that blossomed in my chest. I had received all manners of insults in my entire life but none of them had been so piercing and haunting as this. My phone rang incessantly. "Bro... Didn't you see the new posts online? Everyone has been talking about it!" Mike, a friend in my former neighborhood yelled. I groaned at the itchiness it instantly caused me. "If everyone was shouting at the top of their voices I don't know who is going to be left with their ears intact. Can you just head straight to the point inside of trying to make me go deaf?" I hissed. "It's obvious you have not seen th
Chapter 74Jessica's POV. Coldness washed over me as I approached the grave site standing carefully and watching Nate looking ahead. She looks like he was having a hard time processing everything that was going on and I couldn't even blame him. We were not sure what had happened, and as much as I would have loved to start asking questions, I decided to wait for some time, what the hell was going on. "How did you find this place?" I inquired purely out of two reasons, trepidation that I will not like the answers that will be given to me but secondly it was something that I needed to know. Nate's countenance grew dark, and I was a bit overwhelmed by the display of annoyance on his face but at the same time I couldn't bring myself to ignore what looked like it was about to wreck me. "How are you coping?" I asked tentatively. It was crazy that he was probably going through a lot of emotions in his head but would never confess it to anyone and I understood it. "Oh, yeah, I'm peachy.
Jessica's POV.."Aren't you going to school today?" My mom's voice pierced through my dream and I realized that I have been dreaming all along! Holy shit! How lost was I in this process that I didn't even recognize the fact that I was a shell of myself and was thinking about the most impossible things to ever happen on the surface of the Earth? "Mom?" I called again to be sure that I was in my right state of mind and nothing was playing tricks on me right now. "I don't think that I have changed in the last few hours have I?" My mother joked but there was nothing funny about whatever she was saying right now because I hated the mere fact that I was seeing her face. Did this mean that I was hallucinating or fantasizing about Nate In My Dreams? This was getting out of hand and I needed to cut off such connections before I ran mad or made her barf."You, you should be preparing to leave for school and I don't know what's going on and why you are acting strange. Nate mentioned that bo
Jessica's POV. I rolled on my bed twice trying to come up with even more ideas to get rid of the thoughts that plagued my mind. I have been fantasizing about Nate in the most inordinate way making me look down at myself and wonder what the hell my mom was going to think but the time she realized that I had these feelings for my step brother. The air conditioner looked like it was only worsening my condition, making me almost lose my mind. The only thing I needed right now was more encouragement, that was going to make me believe that I was not the only one running mad about this. I didn't want to believe that I was someone who couldn't control her feelings but right now I was lost and I was looking for the best way to handle this situation perfectly. I heard a knock on the door and jumped up instantly. I was outside immediately and watched Nate stare at me. "I couldn't sleep." He began. My heart thundered, looking for reasons why he would be telling me this. I honestly didn't k
Jessica's POV. As soon as we got into the house, I felt something even more charged fill the air, coupled with me trying to make things douse off from my end. It was almost as though we were bonded by something even deeper than we cared to admit and as much as I would have loved to keep pretending that something had not changed between us, I knew that I was only lying to myself and it was only a matter of time before everyone figured it out. The issue now was that I needed to find a way to get myself out of this mess or else I would be weeping so hard. I wasn't even exaggerating in my discussion because how was I supposed to look at him the same way again when I knew that I was feeling something deeper. "Where are the both of you coming from at this time of the day?" Seth accosted us from the top of the stairs. All the feelings I was having inside of me died off instantly and I started to think about what exactly I could have said to stop me from saying something even more annoy
Author's POV. "What the hell do you mean you were not able to find the file?!" Seth yelled as soon as he walked into the bar.He had worked so hard to erase every trace of evidence that could be led back to him and now they were telling him something that didn't even make any sense. Trying to figure out a better way of cleaning his name from the stupid records his ex-wife had succeeded to enter now he was being told that all of that was a waste? He couldn't even start thinking about everything that had happened in the past and right now he was very committed to making sure that his life was going on better than ever before. His allies looked around, "I know what this probably looks like and trust me we have also been in the same position but we cannot help but please for more time to be able to uncover who is behind this. Nobody knew that anything of the sort was going on." Murphy said, a little fearful of what Seth was capable of doing. Seth scanned the arena looking for the bes
